It wouldn’t really. I only used that because the parent poster was making it sound like total power draws with the cores all pegged out. And if they are actually doing work and not just running full bore through a whole lot of NOPs then that would be a sorta average of power on each core. But as the other commenter said, the actual per core usage will vary /wildly/ even under high load. You would half to run something fairly specialized such as prime95, which can run entirely from cache, to get more accurate per core wattage values under same load maximum load. As it stands, my i9-13900K seems to have an idle “package” draw of around 10-12w and can peak at 360w under prime95 load. And that’s stock. I can make it ramp way past 360W with very little effort. But under “normal” desktop usage it happily sits well under 100w. So… shrugs. I would like to know more on this parent’s setup instead of “My server with literally 40% of the core count uses 1/6 of the power!” But we may not be so lucky.
